Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 01, 2020

Fun fact: Susan Olsen played Cindy Brady, perhaps my least-favorite Brady but alas it’s spelled differently.

P1: “Hi, she’s Becca. She’s Susan. We got early release from detention if we agreed to do this lame walk around. The twins that were originally supposed to meet with you are in the nurse’s office with pinkeye. Have you guys ever had pinkeye? How about pink bellies?”

Here’s who was supposed to meet the fresh meat:

P2: If nice and anti-nice meet, will the world explode like if matter meets anti-matter?

P3: “That, and my lunch may have come up. The cafeteria food is an acquired taste. What is ‘Soylent Green’, anyway? It sounds kinda organic.”

Mopman is again providing his TLC to the shower rooms and making sure that the shower cams are working properly.

Can’t wait to see pistol CK in class. Will she play a fall sport? Soccer goalie?

P1 In this day and age wouldn’t they be “onboarding” hosts???

P2 Corina continues to take the definition of bi.ch to a whole new level. She needs to be slapped upside her head!!!

P3 Did Susan steal Becca’s handbag while she wasn’t looking??? Or maybe they traded places and the handbag stayed where it was!

Did it come up that We would not be nice if We don’t see State Champion Thorp and a sport, any sport, pretty soon? Mo arm-wrestling the busboy will do.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

All this leads up to her mother entering the storyline in October to light a fire under a hapless football team before they play Tilden. Jim Morrison would have approved.

“Orientation hosts”? Rubin continues to outdumb previous characters and previous stories.

P1, I just saw this on The 3 Stooges. When the cop asks the stooges which way the bad guys went they all point in a different direction.

P2, Or else handcuff you and hold you for the authorities. She said you hate authority.

P3, What has Mopman been doing all summer? Certainly not shining those floors.

Bad girls wear black. Do you need books and backpacks to orientate?

Like Corina Karenna, are we going to get a 2 week dose of Becca Ramirez and Susan Olson’s names so we are programmed like Pavlov’s dog and conditionally behave in a most snarky way.

So I guess… she’s a junior or sophomore rather then a senior? And Phoebe and Alexa went to college?

All that is needed to complete this story is for CK to get a Jeep Liberty from her mom and take a ride to Swifti Mart

“Anyway, we’re glad you’re here, because we want your mom to be the honorary marshal of this season’s bonfire.”

P 4: “…actually, she did mention that you are quite a tool most of the time…”

Soooo, they are orientation hosts, and they have to be asked to be nice? Do they normally just insult the incoming, new students? And speaking of insults, I’d be insulted if you bypassed the chance to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
